I hate putting it on my wishlist - but after my drive last night/this morning, I kind of feel I should. Thermal animal detection. So many deer last night trying to commit vehicular suicide. Main lights on my VW seem like they are getting dim with age. Fog lights are great to light up the...

The tax credits were originally targeted to influence public opinion by allowing people who otherwise could not have afforded them to purchase them. I think initially the majority of EV buyers were wealthy and they were mostly virtue symbols. Now that the price of many EV's are mainstream -...

I am thinking the Scout is more the sized of the 2025 Tahoe - so I am betting a little larger, 60-70cu ft.

The Traveler is Tahoe sized. I might be more interested in a 4dr Wrangler/Bronco sized vehicle. That said, unless their factory is set up to easily transfer between models - having a midsized, small full sized, and full size (and maybe even a large full sized) will cause a lot of internal...

From a former tax professional. The large print giveth, the small print taketh away. More than likely, I would not have been getting the credit anyway. If anything, removing the credit will probably make the vehicle less expensive to me.

Other than the optional 3rd row seating - the specs of the Traveler is a lot closer to the specs of a 2025 Z71 Tahoe than a Bronco or Wrangler. Very similar length, wheelbase, width, and height. This is not surprising, Scout said the vehicle would be a full sized SUV. It appears to also be...

I guess part of it depends on if they are focusing more on SUV or off-road. Given the length, sure feels more SUV. SUV's are often kid carriers. I know my kids HATE the back seat of my VW due to the poor a/c vents. They do ok with the wrangler, but honestly it is not nearly as good as the...

There are a number of variations that could be in inline with the SUV, truck, off-road base they currently focusing on. That said, I assume they have no real desire to make direct competitors to other VW group vehicles - so I question mid sized and crossover vehicles. Going from 4wd SUV to...

I can turn off adaptive cruise on my F250 when it is working. When the sensors go on the fritz, adaptive is disabled and even if I turn it "off" I can not use the conventional cruise control. When I got the truck new, took 4 months for them to fix the adaptive cruise control. Loose bolts - I...

I have them on my F250 - mostly because 1) getting it without running boards would have been difficult, they all have them if you want other options I wanted and 2) they look a lot better than the non-retractable. I do use them, but like a few other features I was forced to buy - I wish I could...

Looks - it does not scream EV, EV, EV.... That holds for the Terra and the Traveler. Leaning towards the Traveler though. Might be tempted if it had a 6.5' bed, but honestly I have a great truck anyway.

No problem with a traditional 2" or 2.5" receiver. I guess no real reason for 2.5". I recently decided to put away my collection of balls and drops to a Tow and Stow adjustable. It gives me adjustable height to handle various different trailers, 2 balls (to handle various trailers), and stows...

poor English apparently. Albeit is probably the word I was intending. "All though" is what I meant - not adding and abetting.

Sadly, I only really see a mobile service model working if these are VERY dependable. Dealing with a recall and relying on mobile services only could become a logistical nightmare.

fwiw - I recall reading that VW was developing EV with a a diesel generator about 10-15 years ago. I can not google anything about it anymore - all I can find is a traditional hybrid, not the electronic power train one - but I do remember it. I would laugh a lot if they pull this one back out...

Generally, most vehicles I have had that had a swing open rear door - swing to the passenger side. My current LJ has the tire on a carrier rather than the gate - both swing passenger. The carrier locks at about 60 degrees. Only problem is I don't always close it all the way, and I go down the...

Have the tailgate step in my F250. Mine is worse than useless. Steps are great - I have an AMP research on the side of my bumper. The tailgate step requires the tailgate to be lowered to be used. Tended to jam. Ultimately allowed trash into the core of the tailgate causing the tailgate to...

Not sure the issues with the Raptor roof. Google says it is aluminum... I will mention that a steel roof is not a guarantee of strength. The steel roof of my F150 failed, cracking at most of the bends in the strengthening corrugation. When I kayaked, I saw a guy bend the hell of his new to...

As much as San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas will have large client bases - a single one in Austin will be within 200 miles of all 3. If they want to put it a hair closer to Dallas - they could even move it to Georgetown - which is easily serviced by the toll road from SA. Abet it is kind of...

Unless some miracle happens, I doubt a new tech will both be available and priced for general mass consumption in 3 years. Plants will take time to build, time to ramp up production - and initial limited production will not be value priced - it will be sold to the highest bidder. Solid state...
